Try to download the eicar.com file, and save it on your local disk. Immediately after
you confirm downloading of the test file, the
Resident Shield
will react to it with a
warning. This
Resident Shield
notice demonstrates that AVG is correctly installed on
your computer.
If AVG fails to identify the EICAR test file as a virus, you should check the program
configuration again!
6.5. AVG Default Configuration
The default configuration (i.e. how the application is set up right after installation) of
AVG 8.5 File Server is set up by the software vendor so that all components and
functions are tuned up to achieve optimum performance.
Unless you have a real reason to do so, do not change the AVG configuration!
Changes to settings should only be performed by an experienced user.
Some minor editing of
AVG components
settings is accessible directly from the
specific component user interface. If you feel you need to change the AVG
configuration to better suit your needs, go to
AVG Advanced Settings
: select the
system menu item Tools/Advanced settings and edit the AVG configuration in the
newly opened
AVG Advanced Settings
dialog.
